Caroline Brusky graduated from Funny Or Die after 15 years with the company to pursue other opportunities. Prousky joined the company at launch as an external consultant, but later joined internally as Vice President of Publicity.
By helping her launch Funny Or Die with her founding team, she helped build the brand, create a long list with titles like “Billy on the Street,” and also help her compete in the short-form Emmy category with “Between Two Ferns” and “Gay” of thrones.” Under FYC’s popular campaigns, Prousky managed 26 Emmy nominations and five wins for Funny Or Die.
Prousky’s PR efforts have also included his Funny Or Die entertainment label, which has won Cannes Lions and Cleo Awards, as well as transfers including her new ownership under Henry Muñoz III. She will continue to consult with Funny Or Die on special projects and collaborate with Sunshine Sachs as she also consults with Muñoz and the brand.
“I am sad to see my dear friend and colleague Caroline Brusky leaving Funny Or Die, but I am also incredibly excited for all that this next phase holds for her,” said Mike Farah, CEO of Funny Or Die. “For the past 15 years, she has been an important part of our team, from helping launch The Landlord initially to promoting our upcoming movie Weird. Whether it’s viral videos, branded entertainment, TV series or movies, she has supported and guided Funny Or Die through all of our classes. I wish her all the best, and I’ll probably call her for help within a week of this announcement.”
Prousky began her career at Guttman and Associates and then at Fox. She later opened her own public relations firm, working with clients including The Greenblatt Janollari Studio, 20th Century Fox, Spelling Television, and Sony Pictures.
She said in an email to staff. “The number of calls I’ve had with people and brands eager to work with us to create a ‘viral’ video (their words are never ours), will always bring a smile to my face, and if I’m honest, it will be eye-catching. There are so many amazing memories and milestones, from the first company nominations From an Emmy Award to a first Emmy Award win, to videos like “Pin To Fires with President Obama” that not only create a media thunderstorm the day it premiered, but also make a real impact when subscribing to the Affordable Care Act. We have evolved from short videos to award-winning TV series, specials, and movies that will spark interest and will always be part of the pop culture ethos.”
